CeeGee Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi guys, I have the most recent version of Helios installed and got everything working using LOZ's A-10C double monitor profile. Now I'm trying to open the P-51 and F-15C profiles by CAPT ZEEN, But every time I open either the P-51 or F-15C profile I get a "Helios stopped working" message and the profile editor shuts down. Ihave the P-51 and F-15 profiles and images all copied into the correct folders according to the installation notes in the readme file. Can anyone help me out? Like I said I got the LOZ A-10C double monitor profile working.. Thanks in advance!! Regards, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy10uk Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hi guys, currently trying this profile and it see,s to work great. The only issue I seem to have is like the photo on the first post here, my ignition and rocket switches are too low down on the screen to allow me access. Is there something I'm missing or some button I need to press to pull that bottom panel up.

OverDhill Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Finally found some time to test this on my setup. The 4:3 version works great on my second monitor.

St3v3f Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hey Capt. Zeen I've just started using Helios with your profiles, really great work. One issue I found is the fuselage fuel gauge in the P-51. It doesn't display what it should but it seems to me that it is tied to the oil temperature gauge. aka: Baron [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouncerj21 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi All Am after some help. Have just started flying the P51 and have downloaded this profile but I am unable to get any of the key pushes to be recognized in DCS. I have added the Flaming Cliffs interface and setup up the missing buttons in DCS but when I move a switch in helios nothing happens in DCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have added the Flaming Cliffs interface and setup up the missing buttons in DCS but when I move a switch in helios nothing happens in DCS Read the instructions, you need to assign several keys in your option/controls in the DCS. In my lasts profiles i add a modified defaul.lua for the key commands, but that one (p51) was the first one and there is not a default.lua, you need to add the key commands manually.

Hi Capt Zeen Thanks for the quick response. I have added the keys in the instructions to DCS controls and have looked at the profile and keys are bound i.e del for fuel booster. When in game i can press del and switch responds but when i flip switch in Helios nothing happens Am i missing something ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure you got the focus on the game when you click the switches on the profile. You can also test the switches of the profile, opening a blank text file, give focus over the opened text and click on the profile buttons, usualy you see letters appears on the text. But deppends of the combination of keys. Capt_Zeen_HELIOS PROFILES_WEBSITE Capt_Zeen_Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Capt Zeen Below is a message that I just sent to HomeFries concerning his Target profile for the P51 and your Helios profile. HomeFries I am using your P51 (version 1.67) target profile and the Helios profile prepared by Capt Z for the P51. In reviewing the key commands and button assignments when using both of the above, I ran into several issues as follows: 1. The original key commands had no command for Rockets delay/inst. CZ wants RIGHT SHIFT F, but you want RControl+RShift+8 and you also have button assignments for that command. My solution was to go into Helios and changes RShift F to your RControl+RShift+8. I changed Helios as CZ’s profile will not be updated and your profile is continuously updated so I figured it was easier to just change CZ’s key assignment once and for all. Do you agree? 2. The command OIL DILUTE had no key command in the original file. You have a button assignment for this command, but no key command. I went ahead and added LSHIFT O to the key command as requested by CZ. My question is will my adding the key assignment for the Helios profile cause any problems with your target button assignment? 3. Finally, CZ has requested that the key command for Rear warning radar test be changed from LSHIFT R to LCONTROL F. Your target profile uses the default key command and also has a button assignment. I have 2 choices it seems. I can go along with CZ and change the key command to be consistent with his Helios profile OR I can leave the default key assignment and change CZ’s Helios profile to the default key command of LSHIFT R. If I do the former, does that mean that I also have to do something in your target profile? If I do the latter, than I just have to change the Helios profile. However, CZ states in his readme file that the default command causes the mission to restart. This is an old readme file and I would have assumed that if you ran across this issue when you were doing your profile, you would have commented-so I am inclined to keep the default key command and just change the Helios profile. Comments? 4. Other than the above, there does not seem to be any conflicts between your profile and CZ’s profile. AND HOMEFRIES RESPONSES: Quote: Originally Posted by sobe 1.

I changed Helios as CZ’s profile will not be updated and your profile is continuously updated so I figured it was easier to just change CZ’s key assignment once and for all. Do you agree? For now, certainly. However, I will review the feasibility of the CZ keystroke for a future build. I think I kept it with numbers so as to not use something that might be confused with flaps. It originally only had the DX button, but adding the function to the WH throttle base required a keystroke. Quote: Originally Posted by sobe 2.

This is fine. Adding something that I don't use is fine, provided it does not overwrite any other command. Quote: Originally Posted by sobe 3.

Comments? I don't believe I map the rear warning radar, and if I did it would likely be a DX combo for the MFD. You should be ok to change it. Likewise, you can simply add LSHIFT+R without replacing the LCTL+F, and that will work as well.

No1sonuk Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I've just installed Helios and the P-51 profile. Do you have a list of the P-51 controls/switches, etc. mapped to the DCS Generic interface? e.g. the battery switch is mapped to "Toggle Switch 1,0 TSwitch_2" in the DCS Generic interface. I'd rather not have to trawl through the code reproducing a list that already exists somewhere. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1sonuk Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 OK so I went ahead and did it myself. In doing so, I think I found an error. On the right panel - electrical panel, there's the rear radar warning volume control (labelled "audio"). This is bound to "Axis 0.1.set.Axis_A_16" of the DCS Generic interface. "Axis 0.1.set.Axis_A_16" is also bound to the cockpit lights brightness control ("cockpit lights") on the Main panel and its duplicate on the weapons panel. Moving the "audo" control also moves the "cockpit lights" control. "Axis 0.1.set.Axis_A_3" has not been assigned, and I assume from the surrounding controls that "audio" should be bound to "Axis 0.1.set.Axis_A_3" rather than "Axis 0.1.set.Axis_A_16". Also, corrected to "_3" or not, this "audio" control doesn't affect the in-game control, but the others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
